A quick art journal page featuring a woman's face profile created by a stencil. She wears a scarf around her head and has flowing hair created by a cursive text mask. The background of the book pages is painted with beige acrylic.

#STENCIL
This week's #mixedmedia52 theme. I'm kinda proud, I actually cut it out myself. The journal spread came together quickly inside a small #alteredbook. 😀

Altered book journal. I had written a loving journal entry over a page I had already altered. I never posted it. Last night I got angry and distorted the old entry and wrote some not-so-loving words instead. Anger is probably my favorite stage of grief because it's a really simple and uncomplicated emotion for me, and not one I am used to anymore. My anger is a recognition that I have been treated unjustly, and giving myself a lot of space for this rage is a kind and loving thing to do for myself. I'm all I have, and so I have to be able to live with myself.

A book sitting on my lap so you can see one knee. My right hand is doodling on the book page. There us a grid of squares that each have a different pattern.

I don't wait for art. It waits for me. This used book rides along in my bag. I can art any time. Waiting for a bus is a perfect time.

A page from an altered book. Salmon colored background. Photo of Victorian women in a garden on the right bottom of the page. Rubber stamped pen nibs running down the left side of the page in black. Transparent envelope glued to the top right of the page. Sticking out of the envelope, a Bluejay feather, and a torn piece of paper saying I dared.

There were always a few stars left over from the first six altered copies of 'The Universe', along with blank margin strips. In 2012 I used these leftovers and made the final version: 'Universe: Le Petit Prince'.

Since the Friday Night Flick on the Byopia Press blog yesterday (byopiapress.wordpress.com/2025/11/07/f...) was about universe-themed artists' books, I thought I would post one of my alterations of 'Universe' (Life Nature Library).

It's an art journal page with an off-white background and punched letters from the alphabet going around the page. Starting at the bottom left, going straight up the side, across the top, down the right side, and across the bottom, and then there are numbers in the middle. The digits and letters form sort of an abstract spread of color and pattern.

Started by creating colorful alphabet letters and numbers. Then turned it into art as they became overall pattern and color.

Art journal page in an altered book it features four blue stars outlined in orange. The spaces in between the stars are outlined in orange. Some of those shapes are filled in and some have patterns in them. For Abstract August !

Pictured is the open central stairwell at Audreys Books in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, framed in dark mahogany wood, with bookshelves full of books visible in the background upstairs, on the landing, and on the lower level visible past the landing. Flowing from the corner of the opening on the main level is a scroll of paper that goes up to the ceiling then loops down several times before flowing back up over the ledge of the opening.

Pictured is the opposite side of the stairwell opening in the first photo, showing a reddish orange vintage typewriter on a stand out of which is flowing a scroll of paper. A later section of the scroll can be seen flowing back over the edge of the opening beside the typewriter. There is also a smaller Möbius strip, made up of the front and back matter of the book, sitting on a shelf below the typewriter.

More photos to come plus a longer write up, but my latest #alteredbook project is now on display at @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social ! Titled “The Möbius Book, Stripped” the project is based on “The Möbius Book” by @catherinelacey.bsky.social

A drawing of a dog anthro crying with her eyes covered done on a book page. Her ears are long and red, draped over her arms a bit. She's wearing a yellow shirt and baggy blue jeans. Above is some butterflies, flowers, and happy face stickers with sparkles painted over them. The words "She / took a moment to replace" are the only ones not covered up.
